It goes like this : Focus intensely upon your work. Make it awesome. And let everything else go to hell.

      I am sperg, which is arguably an uncommon shape of attention. And I meditate. Which is all about doing certain stuff with attention (and studying it, unavoidably philosophizing about it, etc)

      Which is an uncommon perspective, maybe. But surely other people study it too. (So many of us are enmeshed in it after all, and depend on their facility in it for their profession. )

      And yes, it’s a big deal. A very big deal. An elephant in the room.

      Why not call it a magic trick. I mean, technically it underlays science. So it’s transcendent to our scientific way of making sense of stuff. Which is a pretty good definition for magic.
